Team LRF is a new program in which people across the country raise much needed funds and awareness for lymphoma research and programming through sporting events such as marathons, half marathons, hiking adventures and bike rides.

Combining your passion for sporting and endurance events with your dedication for raising awareness and finding a cure for lymphoma is a wonderful way to support LRF's mission to eradicate lymphoma and serve those touched by this disease.

You can join Team LRF in an existing LRF partnered event in your area. These events are ones in which Team LRF has gained official charity entries or in which a team has been formed by a local Team LRF Chapter.

You can also join Team LRF Teammates Across the Country, which will encompass all individuals who are participating in sporting events that Team LRF does not have official charity entries or an affiliation with. By joining Teammates, individuals can still raise money and awareness for lymphoma while training and participating in an event.

The staff support from LRF will make fundraising easy, fun, and rewarding by offering the tools and resources to help you be successful. You can create your own personal webpage on the Team LRF site and will have access to an email center to send updates to friends, family and colleagues about your fundraising initiatives and progress.

If you have additional fundraising questions, would like to begin your own event, or simply want to bounce ideas off of a staffed fundraising expert, the staff at the Lymphoma Research Foundation is available via phone or email to help.
